Girl Scouts rejoice! And don't forget to submit your recipes for the National Girl Scout Cookie Recipe Contest, sponsored by Taste of Home. While cookie fans are packing their
pantries and filling their freezers with America’s favorite cookies, Girl Scouts and volunteers around the country are taking iconic cookies like
Shortbreads, Thin Mints or Caramel deLites and whisking them into top secret
dessert recipes.

Before the cookie sale ends March
20, grab your favorite box of cookies and get inspired. Did you know that Crystal Oliver, a GSSJC volunteer, was one of 16 finalists in 2015 for her Thin Mint Cupcake recipe? That means you have a chance to win, too! Visit GSUSA's cookie contest page for more details and send them your creation by March 25.

Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions. Drop 1 tablespoon
batter into prepared muffin cups. Place one truffle in center of cup. Fill
two-thirds full with remaining batter.

Bake 14-18 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the cake portion comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before
removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small
saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; let stand 5 minutes
or until chocolate is melted. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Stir in
peppermint extract. Cool ganache 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
